At the beginning of 2016, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of Fuji X, Fuji officially launched three X-series new machines. The main portable pocket camera X70, the new flagship X-Pro2, and the X-E2S, which doesn't seem to be so high, aren't so high. Because...it's really like X-E2...
What is the difference between these two machines? Probably as follows:
1, focusing system , expanded to 77 points of focus area (formerly 49 points), the performance of tracking focus, and low-light AF enhancement;
2. Add a cute film simulation , Classic Chrome classic film;
3, a small detail, the handle is thicker to get a better grip.
From the above points, the X-E2S should have been substantially improved compared to the X-E2, mainly in terms of focusing, which is only at the current level of the X-Pro2X-T2.
In fact, focusing on the use of the camera has indeed been fast enough, and Fuji's slow black history should be over. Since the X-T10, Fuji 4.0's "Chicken Blood Firmware" has greatly improved focus performance. Even the X-E2 has released 4.0 firmware to a level similar to that of the X-E2S. Of course, the follow-up X-E2 is still discontinued. Otherwise, E2S really does not have to sell.
Focus simple testSince we talked about focusing, we first gave everyone a simple focus test. The conditions were limited to shooting with an iPhone, and we couldn't find suitable objects to capture dynamic objects. Everyone would read it.
Overall, the performance of the X-E2S is still good. Except for the slightly hesitant position of the most recent focus, the rest of the focus is faster. Pay attention to the second half of the test, I focus on a white place, the contrast is small, but the X-E2S's focus is still very fast, this performance is somewhat unexpected.
Appearance and feelThe top of the X-E2S is similar to most Fuji-like rangefinder cameras. All the dials and buttons are on the right side of the top of the camera. This is because when you use the viewfinder, your right hand can do most of the operations. . In addition, there is a particular stress here. Unlike SLR cameras, almost all non-reflexes will place the “exposure compensation†button in the most controllable position on the top right thumb because of the non-reverse camera electronic viewfinder “live view†The characteristics of exposure compensation are so common that light and shade can be quickly obtained through compensation without the need for frequent metering.
On the back of the design, X-E2S is relatively traditional, and similar to many SLRs, buttons are arranged around the screen. The right exposure lock and focus lock are placed in the protruding position, leaving the thumb groove, forming a better feel. Except for the aluminum alloy on the top, the rest are all covered in a full-skin wrap, a full-bodied retro flavor.
In terms of operation, the back of the X-E2S is not the same as the X-Pro2, X-T2. It is a full "right-handed camera." All keys are on the right side of the screen. You can control it with one hand. This is also the difference between mid-range camera control, but it is worth mentioning that the X-E2S button feels good, and the two flagship feel is similar, especially the feedback of the arrow keys, to win the old flagship X- T1.
On the back, it is worth saying that the X-E2S does not have a flip screen. I remember that when it was just released, a large number of users decided that X-E2S would have a reversal screen. . . It has to be said that Fuji engineers are particularly stubborn. They think that the sideline should be such that there is no flip screen, and it also looks more professional. It can only be said that they are deeply obsessed with the class of side axles and even follow the class The X-Pro2 flagship has no flip screen, but I personally appreciate it.
Look at the front again, it's clean, except for the bumps at the handle, all wrapped in skin. There are S, C, and M focus adjustments on the bottom left side, which are also in line with most of the camera's operation logic. When you hold the lens in your left hand, you can adjust it easily. Don't look at such small details. It's all engineer N. The results of the trial.
The bottom is the standard tripod screw and the location of the battery compartment. The X-E2S's SD card and battery are grouped together in the battery compartment. This is also not the same as X-Pro2 and X-T2. There is a lot of friends Tucao camera battery does not use the problem, I can only say that this is a common problem of all non-anti-cameras, focusing, shooting, shooting are on the CMOS, of course, than the SLR to consume more power, Fuji can More than 400 shots have been taken.
The side is the headphone port, HDMI port and USB port, where a little tucao, I remember that Fuji until now only the X100T and X70 can USB charging, indeed a little out.
Finally talk about the lens XF35MM F2 R WR. This is a very cost-effective lens, the equivalent 52MM, the largest aperture F2, and the design is small enough, the focus is very fast (faster than the old XF35MM F1.4 R much faster), is definitely on-hook One of the best choices.
By the way, you can also talk about what the logo on the Fuji lens stands for:
XF: stands for the X mount lens;
R: circular aperture, this is very interesting, all manufacturers seem to only Fujitsu will take this out to do identification;
WR: weather resistance
OIS: lens optical image stabilization;
APD: marginal filter, showing better out-of-focus effects, the only one with border filter is XF56mmF1.2 R APD;
LM: linear motor;
MICRO: Macro
EBC: Fuji's unique electron beam coating, and Zeiss T, Pentax SMC coating and said the world's three major coating.
The XF35MM F2 R WR has a good workmanship, full metal weight, and all-weather protection. Aperture ring of the sense of damping is more obvious, focus ring due to the lens is too small, when the rotation is not as good as imagined, but it is not bad, but the X-E2S's autofocus is sufficient.
Film Simulation & PhotographsTalking to Fuji, we can't fail to mention film simulations. Some people say that this is the core of Fujifilm cameras. Fujifilm is playing film simulations. Some people say that film simulation is a filter, and Fujifilm is also sprayed on this issue. The woman said she was reasonable.
I'll say my opinion first, maybe it's a filter that most people say, but it's definitely a "unique filter . " Fujifilm has a history of nearly 80 years in the development of film production. It is not only a camera manufacturer, but also a film maker or a printing manufacturer. Throughout the entire process from the shooting to the production of the film, in this process, Fujitsu has a It is a profound understanding and pursuit.
In the digital age, film simulation has become a digital expression of film. If you don't know about film simulation, you can refer to: "Fujifilm Simulated Color World". It contains all the features of film simulation and will find the value of film simulation.
Giving everyone a little bit of a picture does not mean photography. It only shows the color appearance. All shot by X-E2S+XF35MM F2 R WR.
The X-E2S is a Fuji mid-range paraxial X-series camera. Apart from the X100T, a non-mirror camera, the X-E2S has X-Pro2, X-T1/X-T2, and the X-T10 of the same class. The lower level has an X-A2 entry level camera.
Based on its positioning, I am roughly divided into two categories in the buying crowd:
1, love the paraxial modeling, but shy in the bag can not buy X-Pro2. The X-Pro2's stand-alone unit costs over 10,000 yuan, while the X-E2S is only about 5K. This is a good choice.
2, love the paraxial modeling, give up the X-T10 belongs to the middle of the. In a word, the difference between X-E2S and X-T10 is summarized: X-E2S is more meticulous in its workmanship, and X-T10 is better in control.
From the shooting point of view, the T series looks more "professional", has a good response speed, there is a class of SLR modeling; X-E2S more retro and more personality, speed and performance. In fact, when it comes to buying and buying, it is a very emotional thing, Pro2, X-T10, X-E2S, how would you choose?
